If you're on a tight budget and mainly interested in casual or even competitive gaming, the Lenovo G24-20's higher refresh rate and good response time make it a solid choice. However, for the ultimate visual experience in HDR gaming and media consumption, with richer colors and deeper contrast, the Phillips 27E1N8900, although more expensive, offers superior image quality with its 4K resolution and OLED panel. This latter option is also fantastic for digital and print photo editing due to its color accuracy. Keep in mind, the Lenovo is more suited for gaming with its variable refresh rate range, while the Phillips shines in visual fidelity but may not be the best for fast-paced gaming due to its lower refresh rate.
